The video highlights activities at Johnson Space Center and uses footage of the International Space Station, Mission Control, and JSC’s Rocket Park. The lead singer is Eric Sim, a North Carolina State University aerospace engineering student, who breaks into the famous “Gangnam Style” dance.

According to John Yembrick, social media manager for NASA, the following are the top 5 videos on NASA YouTube channels:

To discuss the video, how it was made and the need for NASA to use social media to reach a younger audience, I’ll be hosting a Google chat at 3 p.m. today with some of the students who created it. Check back on my blog, at that time, to follow along.

This is just too awesome!!! Even this 63 year old granny started rocking. Great for NASA and the students. Need to see more things like this to make the younger generation not forget about our space programs.

This was done by students — as a side project no less to the 40-hour weeks they were working — participating in a program designed to attract the next generation of engineers to the space agency. How one could have an issue with that I have no idea.

Oh come on, “Truth”! What, do you hate puppies, too? This is creative, it’s funny, and it’s drawing attention to the space program. With any luck, some of the engineers of the future come for the fun and stay for the substance.

So we are yet again supporting the use of the Gangnam style music from the singer PSY who a few years back was part of a video where he rapped that Americans should be killed. I love it, where else can we have more of this stupid liberal idiocy!?!? You people sicken me and the fact that NASA would continue to promote this video/song is reprehensible.

We make mistakes. We learn from them. And this video has nothing to do with PSY- it has everything to do with NASA. My company put together one like this, and it was the most fun, company-spirited activity I have ever participated in. You can harbor whatever feelings you want toward PSY if that makes you happy, but don’t blame the students for it.
